Investigators said they're looking for a white male in his mid 20s, about 5 feet 7 inches tall with brown hair.

They said the man is driving around town in an older model, white Ford Crown Victoria with flashing lights, just like a police cruiser.

One Clarksville driver found herself in a scary situation just before 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Detective Scott Merchant, with the Clarksville Police Department, said they got a call that a woman had been pulled over on Missouri Avenue by someone claiming to be an officer.

“When he got up to the car, he asked her for her driver's license and registration,” Merchant said.

She asked the man what department he was with but he refused to answer.

After demanding her identification again, police said she gave it to him.

He then went back to his phony patrol car and snapped pictures of her license.

“She said the whole time that he talked to her, he kept his hand on his gun, tapping his gun and sort of scared her, and she was afraid for herself,” said Merchant.

Luckily, the man didn't hurt her and let her go with a warning.

Investigators consider the suspect dangerous and urge anyone in a similar situation to just keep driving.

“Don't pull over for somebody like that that you don't recognize. Eventually, they'll either have a marked car there, or you can call 911,” Merchant said.

Clarksville police said they are following up on leads at this time.

"Someone impersonating a police officer we have to wonder what are their intentions, why are they doing this? Hopefully we can locate this person and figure out why. We have had numerous leads on this person and we are looking into those leads now," Officer Todd McMutcheon said.

Police believe the crime could be connected to a similar incident in New Albany.
